Carr then said he may splurge on his wife and donate much of the
money to charities.

"I'll probably get my wife something nice, you know, even though
she begs me not to ... The exciting thing for me money wise,
honestly, is that this money is going to help a lot of people.
I'm very thankful to have it, that it's in our hands, because
it's going to help people, not only in this country, but a lot of
countries around the world."

Carr was an early MVP candidate in 2016, leading the Raiders to a
12-3 record while throwing for over 3,900 yards with 28
touchdowns and six interceptions, posting a 96.7 passer rating.
However, he broke his leg in Week 15 and missed the rest of the
season. The Raiders offense largely looked dead without Carr on
the field for Week 16 and their postseason loss to the Houston
Texans in which they scored just 14 points.

While Carr's value was obvious on the field, he doesn't think
he's deserving of the richest contract in NFL history.

"All of my teammates to a man said, 'Man you work your tail
off, you deserve it,'" Carr said during the press conference. "I
don't feel like I deserve it. But just them saying that grabbed
my heart because they're the ones I go to battle with, they're
the ones I work with every single day. What they have to say
really matters to me.
